If we're going to keep Kikaha and not ship him off to a 3-4 team; I'd really like to move him to the WLB spot and shift Anzalone to either the Mike or Sam (preferably the Sam like Fujita)...

Post draft Payton stated Anzalone would probably start out at WLB. Camp should be the telling story there.

I think some of the confusion about where Anzalone is playing is due to the evolution of the defense. Our WLB is now almost as likely to blitz has he is to drop into coverage on passing downs. Since we spend so much time with 2 LBs and 3 safeties, that WLB is the new joker LB position (sorta). He could be a wildcard that could be doing anything on any given snap. At least, that's how I feel Ellerbe was used last year, and how I expect the WLB to be used this season.
